It was really bad, and that wasn't even the only sexist or misogynistic moment--later Craig Ferguson groped Brooke Shields on stage as part of a bit, and Tom Bergeron dropped Heidi Klum hard enough to leave bruises to demonstrate what "comedy" is (there was a picture of them this morning at an afterparty with her showing off the bruise on her hip and him grinning at the camera). Oh, and we had the "Deal or No Deal" models wander through to be ogled, too. Even when Julia-Louis Dreyfuss came out to present, she had to do so immediately after they showed the clip from Seinfeld with her character discussing whether or not she masturbates.
It was really sad to see them pretend to honor smart, funny women like Mary Tyler Moore and Tina Fey while consistently undercutting that message ALL night with the constant reminders that no, actually women are just sexual objects for men's consumption.

So yeah, you didn't miss anything.
